At that moment, she was alone, clad in the uniform of Jiali Academy, her long black hair cascading down her back, her entire being radiating a strange brilliance—at least, that's how she appeared in Tang San's eyes.He subconsciously stopped his sweeping, staring fixedly at her, a multitude of emotions flooding his heart. How he longed to rush over and embrace her! His lips pursed subconsciously, his eyes already slightly moist.
This was the first time he had seen her alone, with no one else around, as though the entire Jiali Academy had become the backdrop for their encounter.
Sweeper Li Tang just gazed at the love of his past life, gazing at this life's newfound attachment. His hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The Heavenly Fox Eye's fortune was truly not deceiving me.
The Pretty Girl, who was walking away, paused for a moment; she seemed to feel something and subconsciously turned her head toward Tang San's direction.
Eyes meeting, the Pretty Girl appeared slightly startled, a trace of bewilderment flashing in her eyes. The next moment, she turned around and walked towards Tang San. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Amidst the flood of emotions in his heart, Tang San watched her approach, and he, a man of three incarnations, felt an almost breathless sensation. His heartbeat accelerated instantly, and the intense thumping sounded so loud that even he found it incredible.
What's happening to me? She's coming, what should I do?
He wanted to lower his head; as Sweeper Li Tang, it would be appropriate to do so at this moment, yet he found his gaze incapable of shifting away from her even slightly.
She drew closer and closer, the Pretty Girl with sparkling eyes stopped just two meters away from him.
"Have I seen you before?" her pleasant voice followed.
Tang San was dumbfounded, opened his mouth but found himself somewhat voiceless.
"I'm talking to you," the Pretty Girl frowned slightly, her words clearly carrying a hint of authority.
"I—I've bought milk tea before," Tang San finally managed to speak smoothly.
"Oh?" The Pretty Girl's eyes moved, revealing a flicker of realization, "It's you! I remember now. You seem to have changed a little."
Since their last meeting, Tang San had naturally undergone some changes; he had grown taller and gained weight, no longer looking as thin, appearing much healthier.
"Yeah, I've been eating a little more lately," Tang San blurted out strangely.
The Pretty Girl nodded and said, "Remember, don't stare at the students here; if you come across someone with a bad temper, you'll have trouble. Understand?"
"Yes, I understand. Thank you," Tang San responded.
The Pretty Girl muttered, "So you work here. Alright, that's all." Having said that, she turned around and walked away.
Almost instinctively, Tang San blurted out, "Pretty Girl..."
After he called out, he regretted it. He truly did not wish to be presumptuous with the lady because of his rashness.
To his surprise, however, the Pretty Girl continued to walk away briskly as if she hadn't heard, until she disappeared at the end of the road.
Did she not hear, or does she just not want to pay me any mind? Tang San's heart twisted in confusion.
No matter the circumstance, the everyday Tang San could maintain his composure and wisdom. Yet, it completely crumbled when facing the Pretty Girl.
Pretty Girl walked out of Redemption Academy, and as she stepped outside the gates, she suddenly stopped, unconsciously turned around, and looked back towards the academy.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her inner thoughts were somewhat puzzled.
That person just now...
She had seen many human vassals before, and he wasn't the only one she bought milk tea from. Yet, why could she clearly remember that she had met him twice before, even though his stature and appearance had obviously changed?
It was as if there was an inexplicable sense of closeness to that slightly younger boy who seemed frail.
She knew her own temperament well. Except for her mother, she maintained a distance and a cold attitude towards almost everyone. The fact that she took the initiative to walk over and speak to him was already somewhat out of character for her. But clearly, he was a stranger!
No, that's not right, it wasn't the third time she had seen him, but the fourth. She seemed to have seen him sweeping in the Demon War Zone that afternoon.
After pondering for a moment, she shook her head slightly and then headed down the mountain.
When Tang San returned to Redemption Academy, it wasn't yet dinner time, so he went directly to find Du Bai.
"Brother Du Bai, how are you feeling today?" Tang San asked.
Du Bai replied, "I used up a bit too much energy yesterday, so I'm feeling somewhat weak today, but just like you said, it seems like my Spiritual Power is growing faster. I could clearly feel it this morning. Now the feeling is even stronger."
Tang San said, "So shall we continue tonight? I'll help you with your cultivation again. Your Heavenly Fox Eye probably really does need some external stimulus to grow better."
Looking at Tang San, Du Bai expressed his gratitude, "Xiao Tang, I'm starting to believe more and more in luck, you know? Ever since I met you, good things have been happening one after another. Not to mention making a fortune, but most importantly, my long-stagnant Heavenly Fox Transformation can finally progress. Thank you so much! If you ever need anything, just tell me."
Tang San smiled, "Helping you is helping myself. If your Heavenly Fox Transformation becomes stronger, isn't it easier for those around you to have good luck as well?"
The events of the day had truly made him see the Heavenly Fox Eye in a new light. In the vast Redemption Academy, the fact that he could run into Pretty Girl twice was clearly astonishing luck! Undoubtedly a great influence of the Heavenly Fox Eye. Especially since she even talked to him in the afternoon. Tang San was still excited about it even on his way back.
Not to mention anything else, if he could see her every day just by luck, getting familiar with her face would be good too, right?
"Alright, I'll find you after dinner," said Du Bai, laughing cheerfully.
Who wouldn't want to be a useful person? Du Bai clearly felt that after breaking through to the Fourth Stage, the academy started to take him seriously again. In their last mission with their temporary five-person squad, luck had played a significant role. Otherwise, Tang San could not have had a breakthrough from the jaws of the Winged Tiger, turning defeat into victory.
Plus, there was the Purple Demon Eyes method of cultivating Spiritual Power, which gave him a completely new perspective on his own cultivation. This feeling was quite pleasant.
Tang San truly wanted to help him strive to improve the Heavenly Fox Eye. Setting aside everything else, if Du Bai's Heavenly Fox Eye cultivation base increased, wouldn't that mean his own Heavenly Fox Eye would also improve? This ability with the attribute of luck was indeed very unique. Apart from its practical use, Tang San wanted to study it thoroughly.
"I'll come to you instead, so that after cultivation, you can meditate directly in your own room. Afterward, I'll go back to my place," Tang San said.
"That works too."
After dinner, he cultivated the Heavenly Fox Transformation with Du Bai. The method was similar to the previous day, and Tang San once again applied a great pressure on him. Despite Du Bai being mentally prepared, the feeling of being close to death was very well controlled by Tang San. So it was still quite effective for him.
After Du Bai rested from his weakness, Tang San returned to his room to continue cultivating.
His Spirit Rhinoceros Eye was still stuck at the peak of the Third Stage, unable to break through. Now was not the time to be anxious. As long as he continued to practice with Du Bai like this, a breakthrough was probably just a matter of time.
After returning to his room, Tang San didn't rush to start his cultivation. Today's experience had once again changed his initial plan to accumulate more over time.
